If you've ever dreamed of sailing off into the sunset with someone you love, and seeing the world, you will love this book. It is about young singles, cruising around on a beautiful yacht, skiing in the Alps, scuba diving in exotic locales, living the LUSH LIFE. it has elements of romance, drug dealing, getting caught, and redemption. All this and a love story which I am hoping will appeal to women as well as men. The protagonist, Ward Sheffield, get's invited on a sailing trip to the legendary COCOS ISLAND, and has an affair with the Captain's wife. They discover a chest of gold coins, left by pirates, and decide to buy a boat together and go cruising. They enlist friends as crew and take off for Europe. Follow their sailing adventures in the Mediteranean, and their love affairs which are cut short when they are busted returning to the Bahamas with drugs aboard. The boat is confiscated and the Captain jailed. In the end, the LUSH LIFE carries on unabashed.

A song to Pacific islands rooted in a far-ranging journey, Reach for Paradise is the Pacific addition to the world's fine travel literature. Written as he gained deep knowledge of the islands and their peoples, their history and traditions, the influences that have shaped their destiny, Rayner's story conveys the mystery and marvel of travel to destinations denied most people. Intent on exploring what if anything has survived of the paradise celebrated by travelers of past centuries, Rayner bought a sailboat and set off, picking up both boat and island knowledge as he ploughed 30,000 miles of ocean. A personal journey of delight, Reach for Paradise is rich with information gleaned from Pacific peoples, literature and observation. For Pacific voyagers, Reach for Paradise is an invaluable source. If a guide, rather than explaining how to get there it is the sort that will tell thoughtful adventurers why to go. And what you miss if you can't. Protected uniquely by distance and time, Pacific islands are extraordinary, often meeting the old definition of that devalued word "paradise" as a place that inspires blissful contentment. Island spirits and magic, landscapes, the splendor of coral reefs, the gift economy, Rayner defies you to argue that planet Earth has any better elixir for a world-weary traveler.

This is a book of remembrances, about 60 years of experiences in Sail boats, Powerboats, canoes and sea kayaks. It is a book about places from the Maine coast to North and South Carolina, Florida Okinawa and Israel. I want to share a life time of joy and experiences on and around the water in small boats. Experiences which include quiet and peace as well as times of high adventure. If you chose to read my book, I hope you greatly enjoy it and have some sea adventures of your own.

FROM THE KIRKUS REVIEW: ""As a writer, Damato makes his rehabilitation of the craft surprisingly interesting . . . his pithy prose keeps the story speeding along.""

Do you have a dream to pursue but everyone says it's unrealistic? Or that you're not qualified? Too old, too out of shape? Or you don't have the "right experience?"

Glenn Damato was a forty-one year old software instructor who sought to exceed the bounds of his comfortable but humdrum existence. He embarked on an adventure for which he was miserably unprepared. Why do this? The goal was to become something he was not.

The "something" Damato strived to become was an ocean sailing skipper. Overweight and without boating experience of any kind, he decided to pursue his lifelong dream of sailing around the world on his own vessel.

Reckless? Dangerous? Idiotic? Call it what you will, Damato was determined to make the voyage a reality despite the obstacles.

Suddenly without the familiar security of his previous life, Damato was forced to conquer his anxieties while at the same time surviving the hazards and challenges of offshore sailing. As his experience and confidence mounts, he discovers he has indeed undergone a personal transformation - one quite different than he originally hoped, and in some ways worthier than he imagined.

"Breaking Seas" is a tale of ocean voyaging, but it's not just about sailing: the all-encompassing themes are rejection and disappointment - and our common human quest to get the most out of life despite being born into an imperfect universe.

Part sailing adventure, part philosophical pilgrimage, "Breaking Seas" is for everyone who's ever wanted to embark on an enterprise of some kind despite not meeting society's expected "qualifications."

""This is a story about our desire to be elsewhere, reborn and enhanced, because here and now are not enough,"" says Damato. ""But don't expect a sugar-coated fairy tale with just what you want to hear. I promise you an honest story truthfully told.""

THIS IS THE DIARY of a British sailboat's passage up the US Intracoastal Waterway, observing America's lifestyle, history and cultural paradoxes and written with gusto and empathy. It's a well-crafted book steeped in the euphoria of travel and ending with some sober thoughts on the demonic 9/11 attack on New York City. A fascinating insight into early North American history set against the backdrop of a boating adventure along the eastern seaboard from Florida to New York. MOST PEOPLE EXPLORE North America from coast-to-coast. Others journey up the eastern seaboard's Intracoastal Waterway -- with its tricky ocean inlets, shallow estuaries, violent climate - and have a very different perspective. This is the fractured landfall along which intrepid sixteenth and seventeenth century colonists from England first set foot in the New World after crossing the Atlantic. In some places the coast is still a raw, impenetrable wilderness; in others, the orderly symmetry of restless humanity encroaches. A delightful and informative read...

For anyone who has considered spending their retirement sailing, this book has plenty of advice. Even at a young age both Sylvia and I wanted to sail the oceans of the world and when that chance came we didn't hesitate. We sold all we owned to enable us to experience different cultures and the beauty of the South Pacific. Along the way we met other cruisers of all age groups and nationalities, so it seems for us the sea has become a great leveller. Our voyage began with optimism for us both and we were aware of the dangers ahead. We started from Tauranga on the east coast of the North Island in the Bay of Plenty and sailed up to the Kerikeri Marina in Bay of Islands, then after careful preparation Sun Chaser and crew left New Zealand bound for the Fijian Islands. Whilst sailing around these colourful islands we encountered things both good and bad. We found corruption and theft but also the abundant wild life that most people only see on TV or read about. We learned a lot and have included many handy hints at the back of the book. Full colour photos throughout.

In this recollection of a life-time of ocean sailing, Mike Gemus describes his sailing roots racing on the Detroit River, the blinding obsession with sailing he acquired, and the several offshore ocean passages - including three Atlantic crossings - that followed. True stories all of them, Mike brings you aboard to see the storms, the ego-eccentric crew mates, the lunatic captains, and the wonderful folks and experiences that came along during these Ocean Passages. Written for the sailor and the non-sailor alike, Ocean Passages compares with the offshore sailing stories written by the great adventurers. Want to go yourself? Mike tells you how to do it, how NOT to do it, and what surprises to expect along the way.
